Car bombs target Basij checkpoint in Tehran
Two small improvised explosive devices detonated prematurely on Imam Khomeini Street in Tehran's District 10 on the evening of April 14, near a security forces checkpoint. The bombs, based on liquefied gas, both failed to fully detonate, resulting in only minor damage. Three people were injured in the incident, which occurred in an area previously warned of car bomb threats by Iranian authorities.
Security forces successfully diffused a third car rigged with explosives at the scene.
Iranian media has confirmed the two bombs detonated at the same time and that nobody was harmed.
